Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

There was not much for me to enjoy during my time at Pershing High. Although I graduated with good grades, I was not ready for college.

The school lack fundamental resources. The school lacks supplies, administrators, diversity, and funding in general. However, because it is this bad an inclusive it creates a small community of love and trust. The administrators that are there truly care for the students and want to see the best for them.

The best thing that I liked about Pershing is that everyone was treated like family. From the staff to the students, there was much fun along with discipline and work. The thing that Pershing needs to improve most in would be the recruition of more teachers and student. Also, the involvement of students.
